Record Store Day Vinyl Reissue of Modest Mouse's The Moon & Antarctica

New pressing from 2004 master.

Modest Mouse and vinyl were made for each other. Albums from the Pac-NW rock legends tend to be long and sprawling, and breaking them across a few sides is the way to go. Their 2000 major-label debut,Â The Moon & Antarctica, which we named the #6 record of the decade, has been out of print on vinyl for some time. But that's going to change next month.

For the LP's 10th anniversary, Epic/Legacy are re-issuing Moon on vinyl. The set, due on April 17 for Record Store Day, has been remastered using the band's preferred 2004 master, but it contains the original tracklisting, without the extras found on the expanded edition. It also features the original artwork and contains the locked groove found at the end of the first side.
